Hi Jim, glad you got to have a swim today. Funny the difference in interactions. Sounds like your W was a bit more mellow in the first one. Were you in the same location both times? I wonder if your W felt she'd been a bit too warm and then backed off the second time? Or maybe something happended inbetween? Am I mind reading on your behalf? Oh well, better mindreading about your W than my H!

Sounds like you did well though Jim. The main thing is your behaviour in these interactions. I maintain that if you continue being friendly and reasonable, it would be virtually impossible for your W to remain 'cool.'

Papier Mache - I love doing that! Enjoy the rest of your day :-)
